hey im having a cookie problem.

below im setting my cookie.

PHP Code:

setcookie("shirepoll1", "voted", time()+15768000);

//echo $_COOKIE["shire_poll1"];

echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV='Refresh'CONTENT='0; URL=../shire.php'>"; 

and here im trying to echo it on a diffrent page.

PHP Code:

echo $_COOKIE["shirepoll1"]; 

nothings showing up --- but if i look in firefox pref. and look at my cookies its set with the right value and everything.

whats wrong here?

Is this other page at the same path as the page that sets the cookie?

Without a 4th "path" parameter in the setcookie(...) function call, the cookie will only be available to scripts in the same path that it was set in.
